Synopsis

Now in its third edition, Stronger After Stroke gives the power of recovery to the listeners by providing simple-to-follow instructions for reaching the highest possible level of recovery. The book's neuroplastic recovery model stresses repetition of task-specific practice, proper scheduling of practice, setting goals, and measuring progress to achieve optimal results. Researcher Peter G Levine breaks down the science and gives survivors evidence-based tools to retrain the brain and take charge of recovery.

Stronger After Stroke introduces listeners to leading-edge stroke recovery information while simplifying the process to attain specific benchmarks. Also included is a sample recovery schedule, a helpful glossary of frequently used stroke recovery terms, and a list of resources for listeners to research emerging stroke recovery options.

The new Third Edition of Stronger After Stroke features:

● Complete update of all chapters to reflect new knowledge about maximizing recovery

● The latest research insights applied to individual recovery programs

● Steps to cope with challenges at each stage of recovery and achieve success

● strategies to save time and money

● New chapters on using electrical stimulation, reducing post-stroke pain, and understanding spasticity

I found so many great tips and useful information in this book to help me post-stroke.

One thing I do......more
